I did most of the sidequests (but no grinding of any kind) in under 30 hours.

I'm still in the process of doing everything because I didn't learn my lesson from Nier and Drakengard 3, both of which I bought (almost) all the DLC for.

Well the D3 DLC is definitely necessary if you want to do the right thing and put an end to the elven menace.

I don't know if anything happens with Jackass, I just know she's funny. She blows stuff up and doesn't give a poo poo. I bet she chose that name on purpose just to mess with people. I do wonder how old she is, though. If the Resistance androids are all pre-alien invasion that means she's REALLY loving old. I'm not sure if they say any more non-YoRHa androids are being made anywhere. Possibly? It looks like machine lifeforms, despite being flimsy, are able to be produced en masse which is why everyone's been fighting them for ten thousand years. They just keep cranking 'em out.

D3 hides a lot of character characterization behind DLC. And behind the short stories. I think the TDI LP is legitimately the best way to experience the game because of the way those story pieces get woven into the main story which isn't how it would have normally happened.

Sadly I dont remember exactly where I heard that tidbit about the translation Though thinking back on it, I do believe it might have come from a gaming/anime podcast And as someone who suffers from extreme tinitus, I cant hear poo poo And even if I did hear it, id probably think it was usual noise.

Deep Dish Fuckfest posted:This is the level of sheer distrust I'm at right now. This is what Yoko Taro does. The whole "let's put a sound that can't be heard by senile old farts in the game" thing is just a way to add even more confusion to the whole experience. i'm betting that the biggest twist will be that nothing of note happens by the end of the game. 2B and the androids win and humanity returns to Earth. no major characters die. in fact, the war is solved diplomatically in the end and the aliens and machine lifeforms leave on their own accord. every character lives happily every after and the last third of the game is a farming simulator where 2B struggles to find a purpose in a post-war world of peace.

I was worried about my hearing since I didn't remember the ringing sound when I did this part, so I turned up the volume after reading the spoilers and am relieved to know my hearing is fine. Indeed so good that I'm full of regret from turning up the volume and using headphones. It's me I'm Jackass now.

Deep Dish Fuckfest posted:loving christ, all the love for android Jackass is making me feel like there's gonna be something really wrong involving her at some point. Like, the entire thing was planned by noted mastermind Yoko Taro so that when this LP and thread would pop up, people who'd played the game would swoon over her, so that the rest of us poor schmucks would figure something was wrong, but otherwise have no loving idea what exactly that is and so have no choice but to be paranoid about everything. And the great thing is, people couldn't even make up fake spoilers if the rules allowed it because this is a Yoko Taro game, and any of those spoilers might be true. All I can say is that my love for Jackass is deep and sincere.

 Hi I'm 9S, and today I'm gonna get blown the gently caress up and slide around on top of this giant robot while its shooting at my friend.I heard the beeps at 2:29. I'm 26 and have always had overly sensitive ears, probably related to  Jagged Jim posted:Four did nothing wrong. I didn't understand the whole "gently caress Elves" thing. I thought it was just some dumb nerd meme people were driving into the ground. Then I played Baldur's Gate II, and I got it. OH DID I loving GET IT.

Ursine Catastrophe posted:The beeping is during this section of the cutscene and stops at the next jump cut. It pulses, and you'll know it if you hear it. I'm 29 and have a small dose of tinnitus but I can hear it if I hold my phone up to my ear but not until you said when to listen for it. And also not when I played this section on my own.. Someone on my Granny's street had something like that sounding off constantly. I lived very close by and it annoyed the hell out of me because I knew it was there to gently caress with me and my siblings or the like 5 or 6 other kids in the area who were mostly friends of mine. Fuckin olds.

For the record, if you're not paying attention during that one specific portion of that cutscene, then you'll only hear it in-game if you head out towards that area shown. I don't recall hearing it in the cutscene either, but I did hear it later while heading toward what appeared to be a side quest marker that was conveniently placed in that vicinity, later on.

I don't recall hearing that sound anywhere in-game, and certainly not where it's eminating from in the video. Guess it's the beginning of the end for my ears.

Well, that's a fun, teeth-vibrating sound. Jackass seems like she'll be fun. Since I don't even know if all those swears survived the past few millennia, I'm just gonna imagine that Kaine left a memoir or something lying around and Jackass found it and grabbed a word she liked. At least until otherwise specified by the game. The Dark Id posted:The rust oil pipeline eventually dead ends

Does anyone else think Desert Supply Guy sounds like he's voiced by Matthew Mercer? I thought that every time I heard him speak while I was playing, but IMDB says nothing.

Are you using the same setup for your ps4 and PC / do you have the steam version? It might simply be that the audio setup you're using for your PS4 cuts those frequencies out. If you have the same setup / the steam version. I've got nothing. E:  unless Youtube's reencoding now detects soundwaves in those border ranges and drops them down a couple kiloHertzes so everyone can hear them.

Yeah I don't recall hearing that in game, but I think it's more about me not registering it as anything important as it's also the exact same sound that my laptop makes randomly so i might have assumed it came from that. I can hear it no problem though. Fredrik1 fucked around with this message at 09:00 on Apr 18, 2017 |

I can definitely hear it knowing it's there, but it's subtle enough that if you're at all distracted by the scenery you're probably going to miss it. e: and getting close to it gives me a headache.

The Dark Id posted:Yeah, I don't care about that. There's two optional HUD elements that are 5000 G a pop. The sound one makes a soundwave icon in the top right corner of the HUD. It picks up in-game music so... it's pretty useless. I guess if you're completely deaf and don't feel like resorting to looking up where Pod Program upgrades are (you can still just visually ID them in the right spot.) There's also one for Fishing that will err... automatically notify you if you can fish somewhere. Spoilers: If you're in ankle deep liquid and stay still for one second, it'll tell you if you can fish so... I'm deaf and I probably wouldn't bother with that HUD upgrade. That particular type of sound visualizer tends just to annoy me with how hard they're to interpret. It barely tells me anything. Now if they had a chip that showed where sounds were coming from, like if there's something walking behind me or whatever, I'd definitely buy that.

Spoilers: If you're in ankle deep liquid and stay still for one second, it'll tell you if you can fish so... Funny you should mention it, I'm at about the same point the LP is and I already ran into a fishing spot I most likely would have ignored without the fish chip telling me that yes, I can indeed fish here.  The sound wave one sounded exotic enough to me I didn't immediately buy it, but I plan to later, just to complete my collection of weird crap no-one needs. Collecting weird poo poo is obligatory for me to do in every RPG I play. Will you go back to the area you just blazed through to get to the desert? I found it really fascinating and spend nearly an hour there, exploring every tiny little bit before continuing to the desert. Fredrik1 posted:Yeah I don't recall hearing that in game, but I think it's more about me not registering it as anything important as it's also the exact same sound that my laptop makes randomly so i might have assumed it came from that. Similar thing happened to me, in my case I just assumed that sound was part of the desert background music.
